Outlines Changes
In his address, Bishop Lux-
ton told about a writer who
chose the word "access" when
he was asked to pick one word
that. represented the quality of
life on the North American
continent.
He stated that the writer had
expounded on the many oppor-
tunities available for people
and how "the door 15 open for
everyone."
"Naturally", Bishop Luxton
said, "after hearing this story,
my mind travelled onto the re-
ligious life and found we have
Access unto the rather".
He pointed out that the
church had not always been
such, and in early times there
were restrictions at every tura.
"The temple was a place of
trimly barriers", he said, "and
the access a person had de-
pended on his station in life."
"In the Old Testament, God
Was remote — distant —
known", hete•-‘ "and it was
difficult to iseto Him and
come close to Him."
"Through 'Jesus, we have
been given access unto the Fa-
ther", he stated, "and our God
is a God who believes in re-
vealing Himself ti r 1 o Hie
people."
„ Bishop Luxton, noting the
new additions and renovations
at the church, pointed eul the
:Many symbols Of Access in the
Present day worship service.
"We have a wide aisle that
leads tight to (lie family

Do we use it ?
"Yes", he said, "we have ac-
cess, but do we use it."
"We're so busy and hurried
that we don't find time for our
spiritual side of life", he said.
"The average Anglican's disci-
pline of worship is very Weak,
especially' in the holidays".
"Everything has to be per-
fect for us before we take ad-
vantage of our access to God",
he said.
He pointed out that there was
still: much peace in the world,

Suspended sentence
given in frauds here
A former Exeter area man
was given a two-year suspend-
ed sentence by Magistrate.
Glenn Hays, QC, here Tues-
day on four charges of fraud.
Donald Hohnan, formerly of
RCAF Centralia and now liv-
ing in Amood, was found
guilty of issuing four worthless
cheques betwe,en March and
April to three Exeter stores.
Holman pleaded guilty to
writing the cheques although
he did not realize at the time
he wrote them that they were
worthless.

It was revealed in testimony
that Holman's pay, which he
received from the air force
every two weeks, was immedi-
ately put into the bank and
Holman had unknowingly is-
sued the bad cheques thinking
that there was cash in his ac-
count at the bank.
However, it was also brought
out that the air force had,
stopped sending his pay to the
bank immediately prior to his
discharge from the air force •
and. that Holman had written
the cheques on the assumption
that there was cash in his ae-,
count at the bank.
Magistrate Hays was grati-.„
lied to learn that Holman had
made full restitution on the •
worthless cheques and that he
was also paying off other debts
that he had accumulated in
the Exeter area. 13ut the mag-
istrate also wanted the penalty
to be a deterrent in case of
any further desire to issue
worthless cheques.
The magistrate Stated that
for people who attempt in de'
fraud the public, "it is a chal-
lenge to see if they can fool
someone else." "If by any
dialled," he said, "you have a
desire to continue this gable, r
hope you win deer, it because
you can get a prison WTI."
